 Chapter 524. Hope for dragon and phoenix

Under the current family planning policy, anyone who has heard of Zhou Er Ni's twin would be envious.
 

Zhou San Ni was envious when she knew.

However, her belly wasn't as big as Er Ni's. It was still within the normal range, so she had no hope.

Although it was a joy to be pregnant with twins, the pressure wasn't small. Especially during the later stage. Zhou Er Ni didn't go to the garment factory.

She was at Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side because it wasn't convenient to always go to the factory with Wang Yuan with such a huge belly.

It was great to nurture here. What's he often becomes sleepy as she especially tired out easily.

"Your granddaughter is about to give birth, right?" Old Madam Zhu asked Mother Zhou that day.

At the beginning of the year, old Madam Zhu wanted her grandson to marry Zhou Si Ni. She even used her relationship with old Madam Hu.

But who knew that when she went back to inquire, her grandson actually got a match. That match was a working capital girl.

So old Madam Zhu found it fortunate. Fortunately she didn't bring it up, otherwise, wouldn't she delay her grandson?

Looking at Zhou Er Ni's belly, she casually asked.

Mother Zhou replied: "Still a while."

"It doesn't look small at all." Old Madam Zhu remarked.

"Ain't that right. She's pregnant with twins. Of course, it'll be bigger than the average person." Mother Zhou said.

"Huh? Twins?" Old Madam Zhu was stunned. Her gaze instantly went to Zhou Er Ni's belly. She didn't expect this country girl to have such a good luck. This was enough that she married a wealthy man in the capital. Now pregnant with twins as well?

"Yes. However, it's not surprising. There is precedent of twins in my old Zhou Family. My parents-in-law gave birth to twins before. I have also given birth to twins. Now with this generation, it's normal to give birth to twins."

No need to doubt. This was bragging. Anyway, old Madam Zhu can't go back to her hometown to find out. She can brag whatever she wants.

Zhou Er Ni, who was eating tomatoes, almost choke.

Old Madam Zhu had her doubts: "Why haven't I heard you say it before?"

"It's all passed down from the ancestors. What's the novelty of mentioning on purpose?" Mother Zhou waved her hand.

Zhou Er Ni munched on tomato in silence. Expressing that she didn't know anything.

Old Madam Zhu went back with a look of regret.

When she got back, she told old Mister Zhu about this: "This old Zhou Family has history of giving birth to twins. If our grandson doesn't have a match, it would be nice to marry that Zhou Si Ni."

Family planning was so strict. Who can give birth at will. Unless they don't want their career anymore. Without a workplace, how can there be food?

But if one can get twins, that's enough. Who doesn't want more children.

Old Mister Zhu paid her no heed. It was wonderful if they could become relatives with old Zhou Family. If they can't, there was nothing to say.

While back in the house, Mother Zhou asked Zhou Er Ni after contently boasting around: "Er Ni, do you want some noodles? I will cook you a bowl of noodles."

"I can do it myself." Zhou Er Ni replied.

"It's inconvenient as your stomach is so big. I can cook it for you." Mother Zhou's legs and feet were still very nimble.

She brought out a bowl of green vegetables, egg and noodles and watched her granddaughter eat it. "You are so blessed now."

She started to sigh again, Shouldn't she sigh? Back then when she was pregnant, let alone having so many meals, eating three meals a day was already pretty good.

Now was simply blissful. With so many meals a day and can eat when she's hungry.

Zhou Er Ni just smiled and cleanly demolished the bowl of noodles. The soup was completely gone.

She had an enormous appetite. Almost as much as two or three people. However, she didn't gain much flesh. Basically, her stomach absorbed it all.

That day, Zhou Gui Lai brought a wad of dried seaweed and two jins of other dried seafood.

"Sister Er Ni, how do you feel now?" Zhou Gui Lai asked.

"No problem. Don't worry about me." Zhou Er Ni smiled and said, "Are these on the account?"

"No need. My mom told me to bring it." Zhou Gui Lai replied.

"You have to. If I keep eating for free, how much money can the shop make." Zhou Er Ni said.

"Hehe, our first pair of twins. They must be taken seriously." Zhou Gui Lai jollily responded.

It wasn't just Zhou Er Ni's side. Zhou San Ni's too. Lin Qing He would occasionally urged Li Ai Guo to make some good food to nourish her.

In October, Zhou San Ni went into delivery.

Because it was her first child, it wasn't so fast. The pain can last for a day before it will slowly open up.

But from the beginning of the pain, Zhou San Ni went directly to the hospital. That's because Li Ai Guo's legs and feet were inconvenient. If this happened in the middle of the night, how could she make it?

During the day, Lin Qing He often asked Zhou Si Ni to come over and watch. In the evening, the shop was closed. Lin Qing He called Hu Zi to go to the shop to camp on the ground. Li Ai Guo went to the hospital to accompany Zhou Si Ni.

From the beginning of the pain to the birth, it was a total of two days. This speed wasn't considered too slow. She gave birth to a big plump boy that weighed more than six jins.

Li Ai Guo was ecstatic.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai both had dropped by to see them. Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin too. When they got back, they told Father Zhou and Mother Zhou that everything was fine and they didn't need to worry.

Mother Zhou beamed and told old Madam Zhu who was sweeping the ground at the entrance: "My third granddaughter have given birth. A six jin plump boy!"

"Oh, that's joyous news. A lad in one swoop," Old Madam Zhu responded.

"It's not surprising. My old Zhou family loves to birth sons. Look at my fourth's wife. Three sons in a row." Mother Zhou bragged.

Zhou Er Ni heard: "..." 

Only her fourth aunt had more sons. The rest got more daughters.

For example, her family. Her mother gave birth to the two younger brothers Zhou Yang and Tu Dou after giving birth to them three sisters. For a time, she couldn't hold her head up in the village.

Zhou Er Ni was worried and rubbed her stomach. She wasn't traditional minded but she knew that her mother-in-law wanted grandson.

Mother Zhou came back after boasting. Seeing her behavior, she spoke, "Don't worry. With two, one got to be a son."

However, it was still early for Zhou Er Ni. Because she was pregnant with twins, it may be faster than a single baby. But still, she hadn't reach full-term yet.

At the end of the year, she would deliver.

Wang Yuan also went to see Zhou San Ni. The baby was very strong. More than six jins, how can he not be sturdy?

"Don't know when our two will come out." Wang Yuan leaned forward and listened to the movement of the fetus.

Zhou Er Ni watched him and said, "Do you want a son or a girl?"

"Either is fine. Of course it's best to have a dragon and a phoenix." Wang Yuan smilingly replied. Having one son and one daughter was perfect, right?

Zhou Er Ni also hoped for a dragon and phoenix twins.
